A Possible Solution of the Indian
Problem.

BY a recent census of the Indians
on three of the reservations, it is OBJ
served that with the exception of
those at Yankton, there is no increase
during the year past. AT Yankton
there is a school which may account
for the increase there.
While at Devils Lake recently, we
met Mr.. J. H. Beadle, of Rockville,
Indiana, who is writing up Dakota
for the American press association in
respect to It's hygienic conditions. He
made the astounding announcement
that Of the deaths among the Indians
at Devils Lake, three ffths we're from
scrofulous diathestss, whatever that may
be, but it is suggested that it might
be IN answer to the questioh-what
to. do With poor Lo?!-scrof-diath!

tons, 217,600 acres. On the LIST of
January, 1887 there had been taken
by actual settlers 40 1850 acres, leav-
ing vacant 1920 which are un-
available and not adapted for agricul-
tural purposes, being mostly il the
sand hills and meadows of the Mouse
River.
Within the past year large numbers
of immigrants have taken up land
along the line of the railroad, between
Bottineau and Rugby Junction and
around the edge of the mountains, on
the west and southwest towards the
Mouse river.
The amount Of land from which in
come is derived in the shape of taxes
is very small as the records Of the U.
s. land office and the Register Of Deeds
will show, there being only 1O4 quar-
ter sections proved up, or about II, 900
acres. Notwithstanding this extra
ordinary growth, which an examine
ton of the foregoing figures develops,
there is no doubt it would have been
much greater had there been more
land surveyed and it would seem no
more than an act Of simple justice on
the part of the government to order
this measure Of relief to be speedily
accomplished and the prayer of the
petitioners granted.

Dunseith Items.

Owing to the failure of the Pray manu-.
featuring company, Of St. Paul, the roller
mill, Of Dunseith, is not being pushed at
present, its owners having lost heavily by
the failure. This is too bad for the noun
tain gem.
7. 7. Tillotson has been appointed county
Attorney for Rolette county, notwithstand-
ing Crows enormous majority over him at
the recent election; and it is quite likely
the county furniture and records will fol-
low him from St. Johns to Dunseith.
Beer does not flow yet from the side OF
the mountain, as well as was expected when
brewer Stof took up his residence there.

LOCAL ITEMS.

We may live without poetry, music and art;
We may live without conscience, and live
: without heart;
We may live without friends; We may live
without books,
But civilized man cannot live without cooks.
He may live without books,-what is knowl-
edge but grieving?
He may live without ~hope-what is hope
but deceiving?
He may live without love-what is passion
but pining?
But where is the man that can live without
dining?

A passenger train on the Balti-
more and Ohio railroad near Republic,
Ohio while running at Axty-three
miles an hour met a freight, which
was stalled on the track and a ter
rife disaster was the consequence.
The two engines came together with a
crash and roar like that Of an earth
quake, the cars telescoped, the stoves
overturned and a scene of terror and
agony ensued. People were pinned
to their seats, and roasted to death,
with none able to aid. them. From
fifteen to twenty passengers were. Gre
mated and many others injured. Moth
ing but bits Of bone was left by which
to number the unknown victims.

River Entertainments.

The discovery made In Collins case,
Of the encroachments upon the river by
property owners along its banks, is only
one of scores that would be brought to
light were the old maps and marginal
lines OF the river carefully examined.
These encroachments are being made
daily. II the city engineer would cast
his weather eye over the west bank Of
the river just below the bridge on Grand
Avenue, he would find the nest egg Of
another big enoroaohmen upon the river
front. II there is any one institution
In this city that needs friend to defend
its rights, to set forth its natural claims,
to show how for years it has been throt-
tied by the dsm-prOperty owners and
built into by the property owners with
out dams, to show how it has been made
general dumping grounds by all who
live along its banks-that institution Is
the San Antonio river. Intended by
nature as the greatest blessing this city
could have bestowed upon her by q
bOuntiful providence, the river was fast
becoming the very curse of our people
until the present exegency aroused
public settlement to demand a change.
